Mexico is ranked third in the standings with 22 points. Gerardo Martino's team has six victories, four draws, and two losses after 12 rounds. The Mexicans are close to securing a direct ticket to the 2022 World Cup. Two rounds before the finish of the qualification, the Tricolors are three points ahead of Costa Rica, which is in the playoff zone. In addition, Mexico has a very easy calendar of the remaining matches. After a trip to Honduras, the Tricolors will host El Salvador on March 31. On March 25, the Mexicans shared points with their main competitors, the USA. The game in Mexico City ended without goals. The hosts had a small territorial advantage, but it didn’t help them to win.
The national team of Honduras has not managed to beat the Mexicans since October 2017. Then the White-Blues gained a home comeback victory in the qualification for the 2018 World Cup (3-2). After that, Los Catrachos faced the Tricolors three times and achieved only one draw. Interestingly, the Mexicans kept a clean sheet in all three games. As for the current qualifiers, the opponents have already competed in the 5th round in Mexico City on October 11, 2021, and the hosts gained a confident 3-0 victory over the outsiders. And the Mexicans look like the clear favorites of the upcoming game. Their opponents are significantly inferior to them in the class and demonstrate weak results in the qualification. Honduras lost five out of six home matches and shared points with Costa Rica (0-0). With such statistics, it is difficult to count on points in the confrontation against the Tricolors. The upcoming match will not be productive. The Hondurans scored only six goals in 12 rounds, while the Mexicans scored only once in the last three games. In addition, nine out of ten previous head-to-head matches ended with “Both teams to score — no.”
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — no
